    I think you're being oversensitive, especially in the context Raycast adding support for Windows. The whole purpose of Raycast is to improve productivity and UX, be that under macO…

    There's a really interesting article from Tavis Ormandy about the instruction set and virtual machine used in RAR: https://blog.cmpxchg8b.com/2012/09/fun-with-constrained-prog... .…

    It'd be interesting to learn more about how this line was identified - was it by eye, or is there some neat analysis that was (or could be) performed to find it?

    Yeah, this feels like a non-story.

    It's linked to at the end, but I'm surprised that this article didn't feature/mention ClickHouse's own write-up of this undertaking. Part 1 here: https://clickhouse.com/blog/buildi…
